Rubber Washer Detection on Engine Block

Banner’s Q4X versatile laser sensor is ideal for presence/absence detection even in challenging applications with small height changes such as confirming a small black target is present on a shiny metal part.

The washers should be present in the cast aluminum engine block, and if the Q4X detects a slight height difference, even as small as 1 mm, it will send a signal to alert operators a rubber washer is missing or there are multiple washers present. The Q4X can detect duplicate rubber washers with its unique windowing capability while in foreground suppression mode.

With a stainless steel housing, the Q4X is extremely durable and resists mechanical impact, vibrations and over tightening. The sensor setup is simple with clear user feedback on the four-digit angled display. The Q4X solves many challenging part-detection applications by sensing even the slightest distances changes.
